Can I cry now?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, great day. The people who have to do the demo are all here and mad about what the system doesn't do, that they didn't ask about in advance. Or the fact that it doesn't work w/the other system it was apparently not tested with. Well, it works with such a system at a client site! No one ever told me it was a one-off. I'm stressed and angry and nasty to be around right now, and I've got a knee-jerk response to anything that sounds like they might be upset with me.

On the plus side, I got the last of the data off to someone, have my desktop almost-fully-functional, and got an expense report filed. Oh, and the newest build of the system out to the people b*tching about it.

Sorry 'bout that. I've been there, done that and got lots of tee-shirts. [You have a number of them. :-)] It seems your company has more than its share of communication problems....

Ohhhh, yeah. This proposal they're doing calls for demonstrating features of 4-5 MAJOR subsystems WE DON'T HAVE.

I'm not sure we could've managed them, anyway, but finding it out the week before is upsetting to everybody.

I am so fucking sick of being yelled at. I did the stress-frustration-anger-helpless blahs-laughter scale today. And managed to keep from being a total bitch, barely.

Sorry. You don't tell me, NOT my problem it don't do it. Get a grip. And get Mr. Prima Donna, any programmer (not me, yay, but only 'cos I was there I think) does anything he deosn't like he says (fortunately his words have no weight) they should be fired.

I mean, yeah, I can see why he's pissed. But if HIS team had communicated their NEEDS, at least SOME of the stuff he's angry at would not have happened. So it's NOT one-sided.

More of the same today.

Heh. Though, it's kind of neat. No one's angry at ME right now. In fact, even the angriest guy is being semi-nice to me (which is to say, avoiding me in most of his upsets). I'm not sure if that's because I was grouchy back yesterday, because my boss doesn't like having me stressed and made a Point when I wasn't watching, or because I'm actually doing things to make it work better and they are semi-happy with me.

I'd like to think it's the last, so I shall.
